Dacia Logan MCV: space, versatility and value for money
Topic: Auto, Economy (Nov 2, 2006)
A new Dacia vehicle in its own right
Logan MCV is the second model in the Logan programme which will feature six vehicles within the framework of the Renault Commitment 2009. Logan MCV reasserts the Renault Group’s determination to expand internationally and will be manufactured in Pitesti, Romania, the factory where the Logan adventure first began.
The daily production capacity of Logan MCV is expected to be 360 vehicles, and 100 million euros* out of the total programme outlay of 154 million euros* were spent on manufacturing-related investment concerning the car’s production in Pitesti.
These budgets were kept to a minimum thanks to the systematic application of techniques such as “carry-over†(transfer of solutions from one project to another) and “design to cost†(preponderance of the notion of value to the customer regarding technical and design specifications). These two principles were an underlying feature of the project from start to finish along with a permanent obsession for quality.
Logan MCV will go on sale in Romania from October 2006 and then progressively in the course of 2007 across the rest of Europe, from Spain to Turkey, and in certain African and Latin American countries.
In its home market, Logan MCV is aimed at developing the loyalty of Dacia’s customers who already account for almost half the market. In other European markets, like the saloon version, it is expected to win over a pragmatic, rational thinking and price-conscious clientele as well as motorists looking for a highly functional and versatile vehicle.
In this respect, it stands out as the perfect complement to the saloon car and gives Dacia the status of a fully-fledged brand in its own right with a range comprising several models.

Yes, I want one. Looks perfect for our 2-adults and 4-kids family, not to mention our tight budget.

Totally agree with Tim Black’s comment – having a family of six as well. Looks like an excellent VFM car, particularly if the starting price will be under 6K as suggested by some websites. The sooner it comes to the UK (Renault Logan?) the better !

The Logan (saloon) has been on sale here in Spain, where I live, for nearly two years. It is sold through Renault dealers but badged as Dacia. Price from about 5.25K to 7.25K (Pounds) before adding air conditioning, metallic paint or a CD player. My guess is 7K to 9K for the MCV, maybe 0.8K more with the air-con, etc. So cheap but not under 6K. Strangely, I have seen very few on the roads here. Possibly because the Korean brands price very aggressively here too, and the air-con comes as standard!
You should see the brilliant Logan TV adverts. They are at http://www.dacia-logan.com.es/es/DaciaSITe/news/videos/index.html

I`m a woman, so you cannot even imagine how hard it is for me to wait until April 2007 when Logan MPV is coming in Croatia !
Why cannot it be sooner ?
And I must add that it is pity that Logan Stepe is just a concept not a reality !
